alright, but far too fast!

as if you'd debate religion on a youtube video. Just enjoy the beautiful music.

it's hard to find the right tempo, most are too slow, this one is too fast :(

@bec4547 Maybe they were in a hurry before puberty breaks in.

I love this song! The little boy did an amazing job! Although the song is quite a bit faster than intended, you have to make up for the breath support that he has. It isnt nearly as strong as an adult so the song has to be faster.

Lovely interpretation. I agree it is fast for my taste, but I love the boy's voice!!

I was browsing through YouTube looking for performances of the Pie Jesu from Faure's requiem, and found this. As much as I'm in favor of a child soprano performing this piece (adds an air of innocence missing from most adult performances), I can't say i much like this performance: the tempo is nearly 2 times too fast, the soloist struggles to keep up, and using choir as orchestra creates a murky morass of sound. My grade for this performance and video: C. Stars: 3.
